I haven't experienced pregnancy pain, yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-working-while-youre-in-pain#post-1607619 Fri, 02 May 2014 06:58:24 +0000 wonderstruck 1607619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Ooh headaches are a tough one - if it's the early stages I'll be okay, but once I can feel it heading towards migraine territory and I'm super sensitive to sights and sounds, I'm like you and can't focus on anything.</p> <p>I can work pretty well through pregnancy pains though, stuff like round ligament pain and what I've seen some of us call 'lightening crotch'. Pretty much just because I had to when I was pregnant with L and working full time - it wasn't easy though because it was a job where I was on my feet walking around like 95% of the time. I think there was more pressure to push through though since I didn't want to leave my team short-handed. I always felt guilty since it's not like the pregnancy was going to end anytime soon, and it's not like getting sick since I chose to get pregnant...that probably sounds stupid but it's what would always go through my head! Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-working-while-youre-in-pain#post-1607431 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:31:47 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1607431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I'm good at sleeping when in pain. :silly: </p> <p>If I must, I pop an ibuprofen, and that helps me get through working while in pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-working-while-youre-in-pain#post-1607429 Fri, 02 May 2014 01:29:38 +0000 mrbee 1607429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I have a headache, I have a lot of trouble concentrating to do difficult tasks. But I can do things like work out or do the dishes, no problem. Unfortunately though, most of my work requires concentration so a headache means I don't get much work done!</p> <p>Are you good at working while you're in pain? Any tips for working through the pain? </p>
